Aliepesaurus ferox ("daring wing-footed lizard") is a 5-7 inches (13-18 centimeters) long species of flying lizard ("Flyzard") that is found on Skull Island. The animal is described in the book "The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island" (2005).
Facts[]
Closely related to true flying lizards (Alatusaurus and Novusaurus), Aliepesaurus ferox had small wing planes between their toes and a primary wing membrane that had migrated forward to run along the forearms, supported in flight by their elongated little fingers.
In some ways, its body makeup is strikingly similar to Aerosaurus Verdens, which suggests some relations between the two genuses. Like almost all Flyzards, Aliepesaurus was predominantly an insectivore and specialised in hunting centipedes.

Trivia[]
- Like all animals from Skull Island. It is unknown what they faced during the sinking of the island. Given the multiple expeditions, there may be a chance that a few surviving populations was saved off-land to a more stable enclosure.
